Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is my AC causing poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop lately, but despite that, the air still feels stuffy and heavy. The past few days, especially after turning up the humidity control, I’ve been feeling dizzy and my throat is starting to feel irritated. Has anyone else noticed similar issues or know if there might be a problem with the AC unit itself affecting the indoor air quality?

Yes, your AC unit could indeed be the root of some indoor air quality issues. In Dubai and the UAE, given our hot climate, AC units are a necessity for year-round comfort. However, they can sometimes lead to poor air quality if not properly maintained or configured.

Firstly, it's important to understand that modern AC systems in the UAE should ideally be designed with return vents placed strategically throughout your apartment to ensure proper circulation of air. If these aren't set up correctly, areas could become stagnant and stuffy despite having an active unit running. This might explain why you're still feeling a heavy air even when the AC is on.

Secondly, humidity control settings can significantly impact your comfort level. In Dubai, it's common for AC systems to have dehumidification features that might not be fully optimized if they are set too high or too low. Setting your AC unit to an ideal humidity level (around 30-60%) can help reduce the risk of moisture buildup which can lead to mold growth and respiratory issues.

The dizzy spells you're experiencing along with throat irritation could be due to the accumulation of pollutants, such as dust mites, pet dander, or even volatile organic compounds from building materials. These are common indoor air contaminants that AC units might not fully remove.

If these symptoms persist, it’s advisable to call in a professional for an inspection. The team at Saniservice can help diagnose whether there's an issue with the AC unit itself or if other factors like inadequate ventilation are contributing to your discomfort. They can also provide recommendations on how to improve air quality and suggest regular maintenance schedules for your AC.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai’s hot climate as it can greatly affect your health and comfort levels. So don’t hesitate to take action now.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you decide to proceed with an inspection.
